₪ Surge Current in the Capacitor-Input Filter ■ Before closing the switch, the capacitor is uncharged

►Uncharged capacitor acts as a short circuit.

■ When the switch is closed ►An initial current, called surge current, passes through the diodes D1

and D2.

■ To avoid defecting the diodes, a fuse is used. ►A fuse is a protection device.

►A slow-blow fuse is generally used.

►Slow-blow indicates a slow melting of the wire inside the fuse.

■ The diode is forward-biased when Vp(in) exceeds the voltage bias by 0.7 V (i.e., Vp(in) = 0.7 + VBIAS). ►Since the load is connected in parallel with the diode and bias voltage

● V(out) = VBIAS +0.7 V.

■ Otherwise, the diode is reverse-biased. ►The peak output voltage is then given by:
